Atlanta Squirrel Removal Can Solve The Problem If They Invade Your Attic

By Dave L. Weglin


If there are just a few of these little critters getting into the bird feeder, chomping on tulip bulbs or scampering across the lawn, they are rather cute. Their fluffy tails blow in the wind as they perform their astonishing walks across the electrical wires. However, when there are too many of them in one area, Atlanta squirrel removal becomes necessary.

Dark gray fur on his back and light gray fur on his stomach gave him the name, gray squirrel. Of course, some differences in color can occur in the species. Occasionally one is born with black fur or as an albino with all white fur.

They can swim, and when they do, their tail serves as a rudder. Their four front teeth continue to grow throughout their lives. They wear them down when they chew wood and other hard materials.

Ordinarily they have a five-year life span in the wild. In captivity they have been known to live for up to twenty years. Natural predators keep the population down, hawks and owls for example.

When squirrels invade your attic you will hear them scratching around at night. It poses a risk from the diseases they may carry. It is a situation that should be remedied by a professional removal service. First an inspection is done. Then a plan for removal is set up.

Live traps are set and the animals transported to a wildlife area. After they are all out, a clean-up will be done. The final step is to take precautions to prevent them from getting in at any time in the future.

The problem will continue if that is not done because they leave pheromone scents in the attic. That scent attracts more squirrels to try to get in your attic. Exclusion methods prevent them from doing so. Cracks are sealed and the chimney covered with strong screening.

The health of you and your family is at stake. Urine and droppings not only smell bad, but can be harmful. Another danger is the fact that they carry parasites.

So, when you hear those scratching noises overhead during the quiet hours of the night, you may have squirrels overhead. It is also possible to have more than one species of animal up there. Rats and mice can co-exist with the squirrels.

Getting rid of them is not a do-it-yourself task. Call in the professionals. The pest-removal service will rid you of all critters. They start by using motion activated cameras to identify all species.

The squirrels find it easy to get into your attic. The experts will clear them out for you. Any homeowner should have a house free of rodents. The only living things in the home should be the family members and the family pet.
